Bounty from the Kitchen

Oh, those smells. Those wonderful smells. Mom spent the whole day in the kitchen today and boy was it a bonus for us!

When she went to Costco on Friday on her way back from Southern California, she bought a whole bunch of meat to restock the freezer.

She got lots of chicken thighs for us that she uses for our raw food, but she got extra too. Today, she ground some of the extra for the freezer for her. First bonus, we got some of the meat while she was cutting it up. And if you think raw chicken doesn’t have a strong aroma, then you are not a cat! We come running from wherever we are in the house when the chicken comes out of the refrigerator.

Next, she made some of our yummy chicken skin treats with the skin she removed. She renders the fat then cooks them until they are crispy. That’s the smell that was driving us wild. We love, love, love those treats. Sammy, I swear, they are as good as bacon.

Then she made a big batch of meatballs for the freezer. While she was measuring out the ground beef, she dropped a big hunk on the floor. Another score for us!

Woow…Can I come for a visit? You have food galore. Mom likes the idea of using up the chicken skins for treats. Kali has very dry skin and mom is looking for something to put some oil in her skin. Mom is trying to get over the dirty looks we gave her the last time she did up our food. Of course, the food had been cooked.

Gosh, I may have to insist that my Mom get chicken with the skin on next time and fry it up for me….it sounds like it would be as DELISH as bacon! Mom usually buys skinless chicken parts but that will have to change….tee hee
